“There are in every man, at every hour, two simultaneous postulations, one towards God, the other towards Satan”

“For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense”

“Every man's life is a fairytale written by God's fingers”

“The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come”

“Any man who does not accept the conditions of human life sells his soul”

“Man's desires are limited by his perceptions; none can desire what he has not perceived.”
